Fried white radish cake, simply delicious !!

Fried white radish cake is one of the item that I must order when we take dim sum in restaurant. Actually this cake is very easy to be prepared at home, just use the steamed radish cake and pan fry it, and the ingredients and method are very similar to steamed taro cake.

-How we enjoyed? We like to eat with homemade sweet sambal, simple delicious !!

1. Mix all seasonings with rice flour, tapioca flour and water by hand whisk till a watery batter.
2. Heat oil in a wok, sauté chopped dried shrimps till fragrant.
3. Add in cooked shredded white radish, mix well, pour in the watery batter.
4. Cook mixture for two to three minutes over low heat, stirring all the time, until the mixture turns to a thick paste.
5. Pour the paste into a greased cake tin. Smoothen the surface with a spatula. Place it in the steamer and steam over high heat for 45 minutes.
6. Remove the cake and allow it to cool thoroughly before cutting into slices.
7. Dusted rice flour over radish cake, shallow fry the radish cake slices till golden brown.
8. Serve with chilli sauce.

-I love the texture of this radish cake, neither too soft nor too hard, just perfect !! Now I start thinking to cook another usual way of enjoy radish cake, stir fry with egg and bean sprout, yum yum!! will share the recipe soon..

These look so good I'm going to have to try them. Hopefully your white radish is also called a daikon because that's what avaiable here. I've never heard of these but as you can see I'm really curious.

Is a white radish the same as a daikon radish? The look fantastic...I'm very interested in dim sum dishes since there are not many restraunts around here that serve them. I would really like to try this.

Hi Sonia,Thanks for sharing yr recipe. I have tried making this radish kuih last nite & pan fried this morning. It turned out very successful (very crispy on the outside and inside soft). Wish you can try some and let me know your comment. Will try to fry with eggs & chai poh with the remaining kuih tonight & let you know what's like.

Hi Sonia,Thanks for the recipe! All the food you cook looks so delicious and I can't help but bookmark them to try! haha. I made this yesterday but for some reason, it came out quite firm. Not sure if it's because of the tapioca flour or if I should add more radish?
